ITF and Skillset are Joining Forces

The Indie Training Fund and Creative Skillset have plans to join forces to give themselves more lobbying clout.

The two companies will merge at the beginning of 2018 with the ITF moving into Creative Skillset’s offices in London Euston.

Catliff, who is joint Managing Director of Lion TV, said “Working together will give us a much clearer, louder and more effective voice for responding to, lobbying and setting government policy.”

Combining the two bodies, which are funded by broadcasters and producers will improve communication with the industry. “We will be upscaling quickly to make sure the industry has access to all the training that is relevant to the moment,” Creative Skillset MD, Seetha Kumar, said.
